Pros

The one guy in the NFL who appeared to be sold on Tebow being worth a first-round pick was Josh McDaniels. As the Broncos head coach in 2010 he traded up to grab Tebow at No. 25 overall. McDaniels is now back in New England as the Patriots offensive coordinator.

 

During the pre-draft process, Bill Belichick also publicly wined and dined Tebow, whom he fostered a close relationship through his dealings with his college coach Urban Meyer at Florida. Belichick speaks quite highly of Tebow's football acumen and may be intrigued enough to take a look.

 

Might they still be enamored with Tebow's unique set of skills? Could Tebow's running ability and overall athleticism - not to mention his immense intangibles and leadership qualities - be worth having Belichick figure out how best to utilize him?

 

With Tom Brady firmly entrenched as the Patriots starting quarterback, there would be no need to force feed Tebow the offense as he continues to try to develop as a passer. He could take his time working on his mechanics while possibly filling some other roles in the passing game where his running ability may be accentuated as a hybrid-like H-back.

 

Admittedly it would be a long shot, but when it comes to player acquisitions it's wise to never count Belichick out.

 

Cons

Two words: Tom Brady.

 

Why would Belichick want to bring a potential headache of having a high-profile backup quarterback in the mix when he already has one of the best in the game running his offense? It's also worth noting that for all the hoopla surrounding Tebow last year, his development as a passer is still very much a work in progress.

 

Tebow possesses arguably the most unique set of skills the position has ever seen, but the bottom line is he doesn't do the necessary things a quarterback needs to do well enough to succeed on a long-term basis. For that reason it makes no sense to give up a resource, whatever that may be, in order to bring him in.

Your opinions?

The Pats don't really have a need for Tebow. Brady's THE best quarterback in the NFL, and while I do admire Tebow as a person, he's not that great a player.

Don't the patriots have Ryan Mallet?

Him and Tom Brady could be like Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre...
